The Sunne Rising by John Donne, chosen and read by David Powley because way back in the mid 1960s it was
for him such an exciting discovery : the combination of caressive
intimacy with the poet’s delight in playing intellectual games as he
builds up his argument against the sun.
The sentiment is so relaxed and everyday (for lovers, anyway) yet
contained and conveyed in a poem so tightly controlled in its rhythms,
phrasing, shape, sound and argument.
John Donne, born in 1572 but still
very much alive.

Don't miss two fabulous plays performed by our Youth Theatre
Starting tomorrow!!!The Blues Sisters is a lively and inventive comedy with music. When Madame Chantelle's School of Dance and Deportment is threatened with closure by evil property developer Barnaby Sludge, Maddy, Becky and Annie are transformed into 'The Blues Sisters'. They take on the crooks, but will they save the day?
Rain on Me, Mark Rees' award-winning drama for teenagers, won the Quidi Vidi trophy at the Scottish Youth Finals in Dundee in June 2001. This is a modern Romeo and Juliet with overtones of West Side Story and Roxanne. While the drama is serious in parts, it is hugely entertaining and contains realistic and sometimes hilarious dialogue.
Thursday 28 to Saturday 30 June, 7.30pm
